Research Advisory Board Funding Grants

The CAQ and the public company auditing profession are dedicated to supporting valuable independent academic research that can have important, real-world impact on audit quality and the future of auditing.

The CAQ, through its Research Advisory Board (RAB), annually awards grants to fund auditing-related scholarly research. Since 2009, the RAB, comprised of representatives from academia and the profession, has awarded 39 grants for independent academic research projects.

The March 15 deadline for submitting proposals for the 2018 RAB grant cycle has passed. Thank you to those who submitted proposals this cycle. Please consider submitting a proposal next year. The Request for Proposals will be released by early December 2018, with proposals due in Monday, March 18, 2019. Learn more about the topics that the RAB considered to be of importance for the 2018 grant cycle.
